“Wendy, come here darling,” Wendy heard her mother call.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yQhE98Yyw
“One moment mother!” Wendy called. “Then, Captain Hook raised his sword and was about to bring it down on Peter Pan’s chest when…”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rsASbDRlO
“Wendy Darling come at once!” her mother called again.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TiBQUQKPp
“Quick finish the story Wendy,” said Michael.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqedPUpViJ
“I’ll have to leave you in suspense Michael. I’ll be right back,” she said and kissed his head.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh9WLwX3GF
Wendy Darling smoothed out her white dress and straightened the blue bow around her waist. She hurried down the stairs and fixed her curls.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfVA2WSqbf
“Mother?” she called.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5scAtfa7W
“In the family room dear,” her mother responded.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyaNW0I3I1
She walked in and saw that Mary and George Darling were both sitting down and were looking at her.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstJ8ms1vVb
“Have I done something wrong?” Wendy asked cautiously.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuxKhFDtzb
“No dear of course not,” said Mrs. Darling and she stood and took Wendy’s hands and led her to the chair next to hers. “Your father and I have been talking dear.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAoCpUgo98
“About what?” Wendy asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1AgNcxtmP
“About you and how beautiful you are…and how you’ve grown up quite a bit. You are sixteen now, and that is a very wonderful age to be,” said her mother.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGqZJ26P8U
“It doesn’t feel any different from other ages,” Wendy said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5buUULVHe
“Wendy dear, when I was your age I met your father and we were married a few months later. We were both wondering if you maybe had any proposals from anyone,” Mrs. Darling wondered.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfPe8eH77n
“Proposals? To marry?” Wendy asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0Uu0gCeCD
“Yes darling, or just any gentlemen who have tried to woo you.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xMUOkMCTm
Just outside of the window, Peter Pan watched Wendy and her parents closely. He always watched and listened. He was never seen or heard.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R46cftHMG
“N-no,” Wendy said. “And I don’t want any. I’m not ready to be married mother.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEsTUKtUIp
“Marriage is for grownups,” mumbled Peter sourly. He didn’t want Wendy to grow up ever. He would never admit it to anyone, but he had a very big crush on Wendy Darling. Was it her blonde hair? Her blue eyes maybe? No, it was everything about her. Her hair, her eyes, her quirky personality. He had a crush on it all. So to Peter, thinking that his Wendy could belong to some other man made him sour.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUPXbJeQRj
“Well it’s high time that you start to think about it young lady,” said Mr. Darling.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiJxbNmeF4
“But father, I-I can’t,” Wendy said. “I-I’m saving myself.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9v5o3CNzu
Peter leaned a bit closer to the window so he could hear what exactly Wendy was saying. Tinkerbell flew up to him and listened with him.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD4M1mukLy
“For who Wendy?” asked Mrs. Darling.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWVE3bcnbJ
Wendy looked down. She knew that Peter Pan was listening. She could feel his presence. He never showed himself to her. She hasn’t seen him since their adventure in Neverland. “Y-you don’t know him,” said Wendy.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMj5WnJiMG
“Give us a name at least,” said Mrs. Darling.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcvlLYyhQD
Peter looked at Tink then back at Wendy. Who could she possibly be saving herself for? Who could be better than Peter Pan?
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV06L73tWZB
Wendy looked up at her parents, “Peter Pan.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwBogenQQE
Tink jingled angrily and Peter turned a deep shade of red. But he couldn’t help but smile.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0t0tEjTot
Mr. Darling scowled and Mrs. Darling sighed.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNpatDKnKN
“Peter Pan? Peter Pan? It’s always Peter Pan. That is your answer to everything. Peter Pan is not real Wendy. How many times must we tell you?” demanded Mr. Darling.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyW9ncze6t
Peter did not like Mr. Darling one bit. Mr. Darling was the exact definition of a grown up. He was so strict and never had any fun.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk44mJfGzFA
“But he is real father. John, Michael, and I went to…” started Wendy before her father cut her off.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOZyUdefvk
“Neverland and fought with Captain Crook and flew around with pixie dust!” yelled Mr. Darling.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQWqfnUIej
“It’s actually Captain Hook father,” Wendy corrected.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r0hhNVm6P
“Whatever! It’s the same things over and over Wendy. It’s over, done, forever. If you speak the name Peter Pan again, I’ll send you straight to the asylum, maybe they will put reality into your head.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZgnVn8ah6
“George!” yelled Mrs. Darling.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu83ShLlmp
Peter turned red from anger and he tried to open the window but little Tinkerbell held him back.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje5n3hiObX
“Peter no! You promised!” jingled Tinkerbell.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8D3nSCm8M
“I don’t know what else to do Mary. I mean it Wendy. Say Peter Pan just one more time, or Neverland, or pixie dust, or Captain Hook and off to the hospital you go!”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbFDWyI0E5
“Please father, don’t do this. Don’t take this away from me,” Wendy begged.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01ysRqDXCq
“My decision has been made.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJkuPVc59x
Tears welled in Wendy’s eyes and they fell out and splashed onto the rug. “Yes sir,” Wendy said quietly and then she ran out of the room and up into her bedroom.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZVk5rFXle
Peter flew back to Wendy’s window and Tinkerbell followed.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQylz4bxSy1
Wendy collapsed onto her bed and buried her face in her pillow and she wept.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8dRX9QQsa
Wendy no longer lived in the nursery and John was going to move out of it next year. Michael would be alone in the nursery. But he would still have Nana to keep him company.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80deRR1hUU
Wendy heard the door open and John and Michael walked in with Nana trailing behind them.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfCZb3jx1D
“Wendy?” asked Michael.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iXdUcgsU3
She sat up and wiped her eyes.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtpvY35C3H
“Will you finish the story Wendy?” asked Michael.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplQzH1ag0X
Peter thought the little boy was right. He wanted to hear the rest of the story too. Wendy couldn’t possibly listen to her grown up father. She loved telling stories about Peter Pan.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgEK1AAEIK
“Michael, you know what father said,” said John.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfuxEVgmvV
“You both heard?” Wendy asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCqItDLxPz
John nodded sadly.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXpixDtCXl
“But what about the story?” Michael asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1ZpyxEwmo
Wendy smiled and cupped his cheeks in her hands. “You know how the story ends Michael. Why don’t you tell me?” she asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH184XkNao
“Peter Pan wins doesn’t he?” asked Michael.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaqooDdjvn
“Good always wins,” Wendy said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv680VLsKJ6
“Then you will be able to tell us Peter Pan stories. Because you’re good, and good always wins,” said Michael.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkQQJJinSt
Wendy looked at John. He shook his head sadly.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx8SguC9jT
“I’m sorry Michael…I…I can’t,” Wendy said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCqD5VZq1m
Peter felt complete despair wash over him and he took off flying so fast that Wendy’s window flew open.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MYguQmhsx
Wendy gasped as the shutters hit the wall. The cold night air flew inside, but that was all. She walked over to the window and looked outside. She knew that Peter was upset with her. But what was she supposed to do?
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVdeL0kHWK
“Is it Peter, Wendy?” asked John.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfw7xnzBxx
Wendy sighed and looked at the second star. Then she grabbed the handle of the window and pulled it closed.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj63eoxCOW3
“Not anymore John,” Wendy said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O8lI99eCz
<>
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvFf2MVpe4
Peter flew with Tinkerbell following close behind. He was angry. How could Wendy just stop telling stories about him? He was hurt and offended…but he was mostly upset because now he didn’t have a good enough reason to see Wendy. The Lost Boys would get suspicious with why he visited Wendy all the time.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwSyFcnUDt
“Peter slow down! Perhaps this is for the best. Wendy is growing up,” jingled Tinkerbell.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMnYromgGA
“I don’t care Tink. I like hearing Wendy’s stories. They’re all about me,” he said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE84mBQOGcX
They flew into the second star and Neverland opened in front of them. Captain Hook’s ship was anchored in the water and a rainbow stretched over the island.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwiAfKs6v8
Peter flew towards the treehouse. Then he dropped down into the tree and was immediately attacked by the Lost Boys.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb7RuSu9qS
“Peter, Peter! What did Wendy say? How does the story end?” they asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPj7Sa6uxL
“All right you block heads line up and I’ll tell you,” Peter said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlYEEZzJqu
The boys instantly lined up and looked at Peter eagerly.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6H5nqPdLS
“I won,” Peter said simply.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGaT3RmhTN
“That’s it?” asked Slightly.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYOiW55LcS
“Yup, she said Peter Pan won,” he said. “Now I’m going to devise plans on how to get those pirates. Do not bother me.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSPnhbDpWg
“What if there’s an emergency?” asked Nibs.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UICWbCPUM
“Yeah like what if the tree house catches on fire?” asked Cubby.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMwSp0SiiP
“Then you’ll all have to burn,” Peter said with a wicked grin.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu0IIrX0Mo
The boys looked at each other then back at Peter. He laughed and walked into his room.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwVRqb9A4a
Peter plopped down on his bed and Tinkerbell flew in and looked at him.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DGNxnNiK0
“Peter…are you okay?” she asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFInFKK4Hsj
“Do I look okay Tink?” Peter asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFGqJqMYvu
She flew over and sat on his pillow next to his head.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDAzm5T5Jr
“Do you want to talk about it Peter?” asked Tinkerbell.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQef6ZRw42
“No, go away Tink,” Peter said and rolled over so he didn’t face her.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1BAEoNoED
Peter heard Tink flutter away and he was alone. Peter reached over and picked up Wendy’s kiss. It was a thimble, but Peter thought it was a kiss. He held it close and unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

“Cat is to mouse as dog is to…anyone class?” asked Wendy’s teacher Miss Jane.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjDUR2DeZm
Miss Jane was Wendy’s favorite teacher. She was beautiful and very nice. Wendy wondered if Miss Jane had ever been to Neverland. She had a glow in her eyes that one could only get if they have seen Neverland.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapIMXESnbM
A girl in Wendy’s class named Clara raised her hand.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsjUaw08u8
“Yes Clara?” asked Miss Jane.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUjMxYoONh
“Bone,” she answered with a grin.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4LSM0B15y
“Well done Clara,” said Miss Jane. “Now, I am going to hand back your creative writing papers. You all have promising futures as writers if you so choose to become one. Pick it up on your way out of the door.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0bVF9Gdzp
Everyone stood and rushed to grab their papers, then they left. Wendy was the last one to leave. She was putting her books into her bag.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSbcp8i780
“Wendy Darling,” said Miss Jane.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Xe5fKgtg
“Yes ma’am?” Wendy asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC2WljdbqW
“Your paper was the most interesting one that I read,” she said and walked over to Wendy and handed her her paper. She got an A plus on it.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3A3BzEPNL
“Thank you ma’am,” Wendy said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaOfjxI3sk
“So, is Peter Pan based off of someone you know?” she asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4BR5zMKP0
“Not really. He’s his own person,” Wendy said. She smiled to herself as she thought about Peter.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XP80bQXep
“I see, a boy who lives in a land called Neverland and he doesn’t age. It has promise Wendy…would you ever think of publishing a book?” asked Miss Jane.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEYM6Gp9a1
“No ma’am. I’m afraid that I’m done telling stories about Peter Pan,” Wendy said sadly.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qv069jw8x
“Really? Whatever for?” she asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFS6PhRX8x
Wendy sighed and looked down. “Well, father doesn’t like me telling them.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDNoINyK2Y
“I see,” said Miss Jane and she walked over to her desk and sat down. “Come Wendy.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhf09k4BYx
Wendy walked over to her desk. Miss Jane opened her drawer and took out a needle then she looked back up at Wendy.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzPFZfiHNb
“Wendy, do you know what this is?” she asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHaeLSGL2R
“It is a needle ma’am,” Wendy said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOxvgNWB1d
“Are you sure?” she asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjGWdnc4YC
“Yes…I’m quite sure,” Wendy said. She was starting to get confused. Was Miss Jane seeing something different than she was?
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAqlccN2z2
“It couldn’t possibly be anything else?” she asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyZh6tSy4g
“Well…it could be a weapon of some sort,” Wendy said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkCty9o9pm
“A weapon? What kind?” she asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRWrSGpZCA
“I don’t know ma’am. It’s tiny, so it wouldn’t really be a very useful weapon,” Wendy said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOElYlFyfw
“You’re absolutely right. What do you think could use a weapon like this?” she asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDC3kWfA5x
Wendy responded simply, “Well, a fairy could use it. Tinkerbell would definitely use that to fight off any pirates.” Wendy widened her eyes and realized what she just said. Miss Jane was sure to tell her father. Then she would be in big trouble.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzBEkJKYIA
Miss Jane smiled and put the needle away. “You, Wendy, have what most people call an overactive imagination. It means that what you create becomes reality to you. Most people don’t understand that this is a gift. You are very talented and I’m sure your father will see that one day. Don’t give up on Tinkerbell or the Lost Boys or Peter Pan. You have a gift Wendy Darling. You should use it.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS6UXxwI7u
Wendy looked down but then she smiled and looked back up at Miss Jane. “Thank you ma’am,” she said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vftN3aMSq
Miss Jane laughed a little, “Now run along dear.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlquC3t1AIl
Wendy nodded and rushed out of the classroom.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO6GLWJzjf
Wendy was supposed to walk home with John and Michael every day. They were waiting for her outside of the school.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wY57iyQys
“Wendy! Where have you been?” asked John.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBPZZUPLVe
“Miss Jane had a conversation with me,” she said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83W9xriAf1
“Are you in trouble?” asked John.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzDnqmY4PH
She smiled, “The opposite actually.” She took Michael’s hand and they all walked towards their house.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgCcD13j87
“You’re in a good mood Wendy,” said Michael.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79LZSkpRnG
“It’s a beautiful day Michael, I should be happy. You know what would be a great thing to do on a day like today?” Wendy asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kb6Ss7xeh
“What?” asked John and Michael.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww30W25cZw
“Flying!” Wendy said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0mudjSfMp
Michael and John looked at each other then laughed. They all spread our arms and ran down the street and pretended they were flying.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmazQsh1gRN
“Oh no! Look out John! A pirate is coming for you!” Wendy called and pointed to a man in a nice suit and top hat heading toward them.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5SbyQpr59
“No pirate can ever beat me!” cried John and they all laughed. John “flew” over to the man and skillfully snatched the top hat off of his head. He put it on his own head and Michael and Wendy laughed.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfl8TrdtfW
The man kept walking as if nothing happened. He didn’t even realize his hat was gone.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0IGcVuOtO
“Wendy, Wendy, let’s fly to the park!” shouted Michael.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J9Mu6oMQH
“A very good idea Michael, come on John!” Wendy called. They “flew” to the park and ran around in the grass.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7qrVG2QTW
They laughed and flew around and played. Then they grew tired and they all lay on their backs and laughed some more and looked up at the blue sky.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLxM0sEfDu
“Wendy, does this mean you will tell more Peter Pan stories?” asked Michael.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8xSvrQVO7
“Yes Michael, I can’t possibly stop telling you stories,” Wendy said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj6gHOsskx
Little did any of the children know that Mr. Darling had seen them enter the park, so he went over to greet them. But he heard what Wendy had said about telling Peter Pan stories, his face grew red and he soon became blinded by rage.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJY0YNZ1U9
“Is that so?” asked Mr. Darling once he walked over to Wendy and the boys.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47NhQwIBoH
Wendy gasped and she and the boys all sat up and stared at their father who was standing before them with his arms crossed.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKFxjJylkn
“Father,” Wendy said and she and the boys stood up quickly. Wendy smoothed out her gray uniform dress and her white apron.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFUQ0yWpie
John and Michael stood close to their sister. They all awaited what Mr. Darling would say.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmYktMPQ0W
“I warned you Wendy…now you leave me no choice,” he said. He was so angry he couldn’t even think straight. He was tired of the childish games that his daughter played. It was fine when she was a child, but she is growing up. She needs to move on from these childhood games. People would start to think that Wendy Darling is a crazy loon. George couldn’t have that.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWammiOP4QR
“No father no!” yelled Michael.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvpnWxzmYF
Wendy felt her stomach drop and her heartbeat quicken.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoE4MUO1VE
“Come with me young lady. John, take your brother home,” said Mr. Darling and he grabbed Wendy’s hand.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnFg3og4Sr
“Father please,” said John.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW35SK71Qu
“That’s an order young man,” he snapped at John.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6f1QCMya8
John looked at Wendy with sorrow then he nodded and took Michael’s hand. John knew that Mrs. Darling would never allow this. So he decided to rush home and tell his mother straight away. He had to save Wendy!
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOho8K9jJUL
Mr. Darling led Wendy away.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTx81HliNB
“Please father. Please don’t do this. I can’t just stop telling Peter Pan stories. I have a gift for telling them. Miss…” started Wendy.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGvllhqL2m
“Not another word Wendy. I mean it!” yelled Mr. Darling.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE19GIwzkq
Wendy’s eyes filled with tears and they spilled over. The sky suddenly turned gray with clouds and Wendy and Mr. Darling both felt raindrops fall onto their noses. They walked up to the street.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9quZT94ZxI
“Taxi!” yelled Mr. Darling.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnc8q7Dg0h
A horse and buggy stopped in front of them and Wendy climbed into it and Mr. Darling followed in after her.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI3EJaE308
“To the hospital,” said Mr. Darling. It started to downpour and Wendy put her head in her hands and sobbed. “Come now Wendy stop that,” snapped Mr. Darling.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacnqaM1xMr
Wendy couldn’t stop. She was terrified and she was never going to be able to even think of Peter Pan anymore.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUayH3FTfoJ
“Wendy, something has to be done! I don’t know what else to do,” said Mr. Darling.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAm4Llv1b1
The taxi pulled up next to the hospital and Mr. Darling helped Wendy out. They walked into the hospital and Mr. Darling led her to the front desk.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEjo6SLdj2
“Can I help you?” asked a woman.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkie6YqgNOc
“Yes, my daughter needs help. Is there someone I can see for fixing her mind?” Mr. Darling asked. His face was red and he was still furious. He still had the idea in his head that people would call his daughter a crazy loon and then they would start to call him a crazy loon. It would ruin him.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR2hnLOjgF
“Uh, do you mean her mental health?” asked the woman.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAGGpuiIMy
“Yes.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrGMRZdC1G
“Right…Doctor Burns could help you,” she said and pointed to a man in a white coat. He had no hair except for three gray strands. His eyes were dark and cold.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU0TFpf6Tp
Mr. Darling grabbed Wendy’s hand and walked up to Doctor Burns.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW5H6LpCym
“Are you Doctor Burns?” he asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFAOtmzVsv
“Yes sir, can I help you?” he asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Uv6ollbBg
“Not me, my daughter. She’s gone mad! All I ever hear is Peter Pan!” shouted Mr. Darling. He was the one acting mad here.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCTc5UC9Zi
“Ah, an overactive imagination yes?” asked the Doctor and he smiled at Wendy. He had a gold tooth and Wendy widened her eyes and shrank back. “We have a special program for such…illnesses.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5Avpr5FHh
Wendy knew what this man was. He wasn’t a doctor. He must have been a pirate.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL5gwnxGYK
“Oh?” asked Mr. Darling.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfCeSlmYLK
“Yes, follow me,” he said.

Mr. Darling and Wendy followed Doctor Burns to a door. He opened the door and they entered a room full of girls Wendy’s age. They all had white nightgowns on and some of them had knotted hair. Some looked absolutely terrifying.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT4fGpZ8gm
Mr. Darling stopped suddenly and looked around. Then is hit him what he was doing. How could he have done this? George Darling knew he was wrong. His precious daughter didn’t belong here. Not at all. Mr. Darling stopped and Wendy almost ran into him. He turned to her and she looked at him. “Wendy…what am I doing?” he asked her.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg4eGPAkMn
“Father,” Wendy said and she rushed into his arms and sobbed.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3VJwFALRJ
“I-I’m so sorry Wendy. This isn’t right. You don’t belong here,” he said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7vCEM5nad
“Problem sir?” asked Doctor Burns.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSW7mVzwCj
“Yes, my daughter doesn’t belong here. She isn’t crazy,” said Mr. Darling and he held Wendy’s hand tightly.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K9e7OO2Qu
“Why such a sudden change of mind?” asked Doctor Burns.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQyL5oZUn7
“My daughter is perfectly normal. She just takes her stories too literally sometimes,” he said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkrZndVC9K
“I see,” said Doctor Burns and he looked at Wendy and squinted his eyes. Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out a bottle of pills. “Give her two of these tonight. It will help.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWD1XLjxI3
Mr. Darling took the pills, “What will they do?”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzVG4SWLpt
“They are simple relief pills. They will only relax her brain. She will sleep very well tonight,” said Doctor Burns and he gave Wendy a very scary smile.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3RkSv3WwI
Mr. Darling nodded then he and Wendy rushed out of the hospital.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApd5xdhW00
“Wendy will you ever forgive me?” asked Mr. Darling.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTkqM2xRbv
“I don’t think it’s me you will need forgiveness from,” Wendy said. “Mother is going to be furious.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHZUFSj50N
“You’re right about that,” said Mr. Darling.

“Wendy!” exclaimed Mrs. Darling once Wendy walked into the house. Mrs. Darling gathered her in her arms.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvNOu5ibKf
John and Michael rushed down the stairs and joined in on the hug. Nana jumped in as well.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQjoisfDHU
Mrs. Darling looked up and the children themselves had never seen her look so mad in their lives.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2gDBkmDmr
“George Darling! Have you gone absolutely mad?” demanded Mrs. Darling.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnioZMSmJj
“Now Mary, I admit that I was being a bit rash…” started Mr. Darling
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaUgghEGAD
“A bit rash? Do you realize what you could have done to our daughter?” demanded Mrs. Darling.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt96hdqN0uE
“Now you listen here Mary. I admitted I was wrong. That is that, it’s over. Forget about it,” said George.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZod99XnoF
I could tell my mother wanted to yell more, but instead she kissed Wendy’s head and then marched up the stairs into her room.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyC7X2LxUC
“Run along to bed all of you. Oh and Wendy, I do want you to take two of these,” said Mr. Darling and he handed Wendy the pill bottle. “Nana, make sure she takes them.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CYOAoakOF
Nana responded with a bark.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENNK9Cnprm
John, Michael, and Wendy all walked up the stairs and they walked into Wendy’s room. Wendy placed the pills on her nightstand.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMdYg5pMRj
“What happened Wendy?” asked John.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0aC3bqDp9
“Father was blinded by fury. He stormed me into the hospital and then we met this man, Doctor Burns,” Wendy said then she looked at the doorway and leaned in towards Michael and John. “I think he was a pirate.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7ZCGUz5IJ
“A pirate? What makes you say that?” asked John.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic2bx2VboB
“His cold, dark eyes looked at me in a terrifying way. And he had a solid gold tooth in his mouth,” she said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtHuwG17Th
“A gold tooth?” asked Michael. “I don’t remember seeing a pirate with a gold tooth.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxfQJA4Qkg
“That’s what I was thinking. Maybe he’s a new pirate,” she said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzg3UHo5qQ
Suddenly Nana rushed up to Wendy and barked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uS4GP38MM
“Oh fine,” she said. She walked back over to her night stand and grabbed the the pill bottle.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpQ8ykzEyq
“No Wendy, if the pirate gave you those then you shouldn’t take them,” said Michael.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W6XojyG29
Wendy opened the bottle. The pills were white. “They look fine Michael, I’m sure that the most they would do is make me sleepy,” she said and poured the pills into her hand.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKJIqLsO0q
Nana balanced a tray on her head with a cup of water on it. Wendy took the cup and thanked her.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4GO7A1rug
She put the pills into her mouth and quickly gulped down the water. “Well, it’s better than castor oil,” Wendy said and gave John and Michael a smile.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW4ztQ83GY
They looked a bit suspicious.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaLsyco6FY
“I’m fine, see?” Wendy asked. “Now, I’m going to change into my nightdress if you don’t mind.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3YO2ZuA2y
But Wendy wasn’t fine. She was right about Doctor Burns being a pirate. He was sent to London specifically for Wendy. He was just waiting for her to come in.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DMejTWzVs
John and Michael left and Wendy took off her school uniform and pulled her white night dress on. She took her hair out of all of the clips and it hung in blond curly waves down her back.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKuFxlc1Bf
Suddenly she started to feel…weird. She felt her eyes droop and her legs grew weak. Wendy tried to grab onto the side table for support but she fell to the ground anyway. Her eyes closed and everything went black.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC2WvpRiBK
Wendy immediately regretted her decision on taking the pirate’s pills.

Peter Pan woke up and realized that it was dark. He flew out of the treehouse and towards the second star. Perhaps Wendy had changed her mind.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Kaj8bY6Lg
He was in London in no time and he flew over to Wendy’s window. It was dark in her room and no one was in there. He peeked in John and Michael’s room. They were sound asleep and Wendy wasn’t in there either.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTnba4kfhL
Peter raised an eyebrow then flew down to Mary and George Darling’s window. They were asleep too.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpRHBlsT9Q
Where was Wendy?
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejkIXx01qs
Suddenly something caught his eye. He looked down and saw Wendy walking on the sidewalk away from her house. She was bare-footed and dressed in a light green dress. The dress stopped just above Wendy’s knees, it was short which Peter found odd. None of the women in London wore dresses shorter than their ankles.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsgqhjTOke
Peter flew down and watched Wendy from hidden places. She didn’t turn her head or even blink. Her eyes had some sort of white film over them. She just walked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd35liZ0wLc
Peter wanted to try and stop her, but he promised that he wouldn’t interact with Wendy or anyone else from London ever again.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xauaiO7Er
Peter and Tinkerbell both made that promise together. It was no trouble for Tink, but it was harder for Peter. He became too attached to Wendy so he promised himself and Tink that he wouldn’t show himself to her again. He could just watch her from afar.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIVKD7RXCC
Wendy walked for blocks, then she finally stopped in front of a hospital. Peter flew onto the roof of the hospital and peeked over.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WJzdGV1b3
The door opened and a man walked forward towards Wendy.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NO1AGoRzt
“Welcome back Wendy,” said the man in a harsh cruel voice.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0alDhELRqC
Wendy didn’t respond.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspFr5fYiJn
Another man came out and Peter narrowed his eyes. It was Hook. Peter could recognize that codfish anywhere.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKIeh3rpPw
“Ah yes, this is definitely her. Thank you for your service Mr. Larson,” said Hook. Then with one swipe with his hook he ripped Mr. Larson’s jugular out.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE9qRRf97Q
Peter reached into his belt and pulled out his dagger.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JtboVh43c
“It’s good to see you again Wendy. You have a friend in Neverland who is dying to see you,” said Hook. He walked up to Wendy and circled her.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0S5zqiT5R
She didn’t move, she didn’t even blink. Wendy was under Mr. Larson’s sleep walking pill. Nothing could wake her up until morning.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNyOHLuTRj
Hook leaned in close to Wendy’s ear, “Peter Pan has been watching you Wendy. He fancies the girl he brought to Neverland. You will be perfect bait.” Hook’s hook dripped with blood and a drop landed on Wendy’s hand. It ran down her finger and then splashed onto the pavement.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpufDGq7xYz
“Now then my dear, shall we?” asked Hook and he held up his arm. Wendy robotically took his arm and they walked away down the street toward the park.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxY0EHkX6e
Peter put his dagger back into his belt and felt ashamed. He couldn’t bring himself to stop Hook. Because he secretly wanted Wendy to be back in Neverland. If Hook brought her there, then he didn’t break his promise.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyga0kHIVN
Peter flew off the roof and back towards the second star. He would rescue Wendy, but he had to do it in a way so that he wouldn’t know that Wendy was in Neverland. His Wendy would have to endure Hook’s ship for a while.

Captain James Hook smiled and congratulated himself on his achievement. Who would have thought that Peter Pan would fancy someone? Wendy was a beautiful young girl. He couldn’t blame the boy for falling in love with her. It seemed like yesterday when the little brat refused to join his crew. She had grown since then.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv0vfUhiAR
Hook was suddenly hit with a brilliant idea. He would try to get Wendy to join his side. She could become a pirate and fight Peter Pan. That would break his childish little heart.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64FLvgCXeo
Hook took out the small bottle of pixie dust he stole from Pixie Hollow and sprinkled it on himself. Then he picked up Wendy and threw her over his shoulder. Then off he flew to Neverland.

Wendy felt dizzy and she felt as though she were rocking back and forth when she woke up. She was lying in a big bed that wasn’t hers. She quickly sat up and yawned. Then she rubbed her eyes and looked around.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gd66mDmMC
She wasn’t in her room. She was in a room with a desk and chair and a red piano. There was also a large dining table with an array of food on it.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiK4mpfay7
She threw the covers off of her and stepped onto the wooden floor. Then the floor moved and she fell against the bed.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo02gLVG6zu
“What is this?” asked Wendy. She looked down and realized what she was wearing. She grew red, her legs were exposed. She tried to pull the green dress down lower but it wouldn’t.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xADK9Rgz0
She saw a window across from her and she rushed forward and pressed her hands against the window. She gasped as she saw the view.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMKl0MRcw7
She was in the ocean, on a boat. That explained the rocking. But the island ahead of her she could not deny was Neverland! Which meant that this ship belonged to…
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92JKWsRcGX
“Wendy, you’re awake,” said Hook from behind her.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hFdskIw2j
Wendy spun around and quickly grabbed the sword that was hanging on the wall. She held it in front of her and narrowed her eyes.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTmKgZhtgb
“Oh Wendy, my dear, why the sword? We are old friends aren’t we?” asked Hook.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviV24iElSB
“Not at all. Why did you bring me here Hook?” Wendy asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJVpCB7cBK
“My dear sweet child, I brought you here because you needed to come here,” said Hook.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF9WPRtZ5l
“What?” asked Wendy.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx0W9U7L7W
“Come Wendy, sit, have some breakfast,” said Hook. He gestured to the table.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kVJekVvgH
Wendy didn’t move.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGlH0daawz
“Very well my dear,” said Hook and he sat down and popped a grape into his mouth. “Wendy, dear sweet Wendy, I have a proposal for you.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY5piLPVNs
“And what makes you think I’ll take it?” Wendy asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7vJjeWfVt
“Your parents,” said Hook and he poured red wine into a glass cup. “Your father took you to the hospital today. I understand it’s because of those…Peter Pan stories that you are always telling your siblings. He doesn’t believe that you were here with your brothers. Am I right?”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp84VXsUzdm
“Yes, but father realized he was being rash and he brought me home,” Wendy said and gripped the sword. “And mother was against it from the start.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9auf02HTM
“Yes, but who’s to say that your father won’t lose his temper again and send you to the hospital permanently?” asked Hook. He sipped his wine. “Your mother wouldn’t be able to stop him. He is the man of the family. Whatever he says goes…am I wrong?”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6U0nSc8A8
Wendy didn’t say anything but her sword lowered a bit.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rkeUSafDl
Hook smiled and stood. He held his wine and walked towards her. “I’m not going to harm you Wendy. I’m here to offer you a life-time aboard my ship. You will be a pirate here just like the rest of my crew and you can tell all the Peter Pan stories you wish. Or, I will take you back to your home…where you cannot speak about Peter Pan.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57MCRq4C5q
Wendy completely lowered her sword and stared at Captain Hook. She knew he was lying. This was a trick of some sort…but, he was right. What if Mr. Darling did snap and send her to the hospital for good. Not telling Peter Pan stories was not an option either. Miss Jane even said that Wendy had a gift. This is what she wanted to do.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkgcnVjgLu
“What do you say my dear?” asked Hook.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1isNVEV6c
Wendy looked at him and then spun around and put the sword back on the wall. “I’ll join your crew…but on one condition. I will never ever betray Peter or Tinkerbell or any of the Lost Boys should he come by here,” she said with a determined look on her face.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pICTj07ed
“Of course my dear,” said Hook. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a long parchment. He placed it on the desk and dipped his quill into the ink. He wrote down: Wendy Darling will join the crew of Captain James Hook on the ship the Jolly Rodger. She will be one of the crew and do as the crew does. However, she will not betray Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, or any of the Lost Boys. Then he signed it. “How does that look my dear?”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AnzVEvZKI
Wendy studied it then nodded. She took the quill from Hook and looked down at it. She hesitated then signed her name on the parchment: Wendy Moira Angela Darling.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhUGzJlwKJ
“Excellent my dear,” said Hook. “Now, come with me dear, I’ll get you some proper clothes to wear.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnkiZ5FVMW
“Why am I in this dress?” asked Wendy.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA3eo9Psh8
“You were under a sleep walking spell. We didn’t want you to trip and fall,” said Hook simply.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy38OYJWQW
Wendy still felt uncomfortable. But she shrugged it off and hoped that she didn’t just make a very big mistake.

Peter and the Lost Boys were playing a game with the Indians. It was the hunting game that John, Michael, and the boys played.

“Peter, what should we do?” asked Cubby.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuAYshH3ir
They were all hiding in the forest with their sling-shots at the ready.

“If you see one of the Indians, shoot them,” said Peter with a devilish smile.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M6DXQLEio
Suddenly the Lost Boys were attacked and tied up by the Indians. Even Peter was taken by surprise.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBMb5gZrFh
“We win,” laughed Tigerlily.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru3p19ACG3
“You got lucky this time,” laughed Peter. The Lost boys and the Indians laughed. The Indians released the Lost Boys and they all marched back to the Indian’s camp together and sang songs and pounded drums.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacHtaxzG8r
All this time it should have been fun. But Peter could only think about Wendy on the pirate ship. She must have been terrified. But he couldn’t rescue her until Hook made it clear that she was on board.

Wendy sat at the other end of the table across from Hook. It was late and she was starving but she didn’t want to eat the food. She was still afraid.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciEaszd8v8
Captain Hook gave her black pants and tall black boots as well as a white shirt that hung off of her shoulders as well as a black corset meant to be worn on the outside of the shirt. She also wore a maroon jacket that had gold buttons on it. Her curly hair lay in waves around her shoulders and she looked down at her plate. She wanted to eat it…she really did.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbUDSBiBDw
“Wendy, please my dear, eat something. I can promise you that nothing is poisoned. Captain James Hook always keeps his word. I wouldn’t ever poison my crew…unless they deserved it,” said Hook.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaXvebnkqf
Wendy picked up the bread and tore off a small piece and ate it. After a while, she took bigger chunks of it and ate it. It didn’t taste poisoned. She ate the bread, then he ate the chicken. She was stuffed after she ate the mashed potatoes.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIqlkVPX0p
“Trust me my dear, you are perfectly safe on this ship,” said Hook. “Now, I’ve been thinking about giving you another name other than Wendy.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ9acVGXGF
“A different name?” Wendy asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotuDUV0nEc
“Yes, Wendy doesn’t seem like a very terrifying name now does it?” asked Hook. “What was your full name again?”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mvXAdovn6
“Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” said Wendy.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheJ8yZ9VGV
Captain Hook tapped his silver hook against his chin thoughtfully. “How about we just call you Moira. Doesn’t it mean sea of bitterness or sorrow? A sad name, but perfect for a pirate. A pirate life is a lonely life my dear.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY60jhQiGDt
Wendy thought about it. To just call herself Moira? She didn’t see what was wrong with it. She’s always loved the name Moira.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQj2DcwaB1
“Very well then. Just call me Moira,” said Wendy, er, Moira.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnU90IFMnC
“Excellent my dear. Excellent, are you finished? I think it’s a good time for a story. What do you think?” Captain Hook asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWGiWzk1ov
Moira couldn’t help but smile and nod.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhIEeSStCO
Hook escorted her out of the cabin and onto the deck.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicnjDsnNT7
“Mr. Smee! Moira, our newest member of the crew, is going to tell us a story. Alert the crew,” said Hook to the squeamish, bumbling, man known as Mr. Smee.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLX3hOtfel
“Y-yes Cap’n!” said Smee and he turned to the crew member. “A-attention everyone! Moira is going to tell a story! Everyone be quiet!” Smee commanded.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrgYk4T7y3
The crew member laughed and sat themselves down in front of me.

“Take it away my dear Moira,” said Hook and he bowed and stood against the stair banister.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrccxpMt7H6
“Well, what would you all like to hear?” Moira asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uySoF6uha

Tigerlily walked over and sat next to him.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xC86uMPNq
“You are distracted,” she said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZz3CyIG2g
Peter laughed and shook his head. “I’m not distracted. I’m just observing the fire.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWde3d7fg6
“You are distracted…by what?” asked Tigerlily.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgxc3dGiL3
Peter sighed. Tigerlily was one of his close friends. Ever since he saved her from drowning, they had had this special bond. So, he stood and helped her to stand. Then he took her hand and they walked off into the forest.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9qUgTBRwa
Once they were far enough in, Peter looked at Tigerlily and squinted his eyes. “What I’m about to tell you is top secret. If you tell anyone, I’ll hang you from your toes,” he said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlfICmJ5kl
Tigerlily smiled and zipped her lips.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAppK8Evxl2
“I’ve been seeing Wendy. I’ve been going to London and listening to her stories,” said Peter.

Tigerlily smiled and laughed a little, “Everyone know that, you go, listen to her stories then come back and tell them to the Lost Boys.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMQzopy1Af
“Yeah, well, that’s not all,” said Peter. He told her about what he had seen the night before with Wendy sleep walking and Hook kidnapping her.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXYKNOYSiG
“So Wendy is in Neverland on Hook’s ship right now?” asked Tigerlily once Peter was finished.

“Why do you not rescue her?” asked Tigerlily.

“I promised myself and Tink that I wouldn’t make myself known to her. It would be too hard,” said Peter.

“But Little Flying Eagle, Wendy needs you. She is on Hook’s ship. Who knows what he is doing to her?” asked Tigerlily.

“I’ll rescue her eventually,” said Peter and he took off his hat and wrung it in his hands.

“I do not think it wise to wait. But, if you must,” said Tigerlily.

Peter nodded. Tigerlily cupped Peter’s cheek then she turned and returned to the fire.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTRi7dTC0S
Peter decided not to return. He put his hat back on and flew towards Mermaid Lagoon. He landed on one of their rocks and the mermaids soon rose up and beamed.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjsKlzyMwY
“Peter! How good to see you,” said Aqua, the red haired mermaid.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7TnVy0Z5w
“Hello Peter,” said Shelly and she batted her big long eyelashes and pushed her blonde hair out of her face.

“Hello ladies, first off, you all look wonderful,” said Peter and he smiled his oh-so-charming smile.

The mermaids giggled and Aqua rested her arms on the rock Peter stood on.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVM5A1nsu8
“I have a favor,” said Peter.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nUruUNya4
“Of course,” said Aqua.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDN3gPuo2J
“I need you to go to Hook’s ship…” started Peter.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrVAREoRRS
“Hook?” asked all of the mermaids and they instantly became terrified.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJaoBRZD36
“Yes, please, someone may need my help. I just need you to check and see if there is a girl on the ship…her name is Wendy.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUegHVu9Od
“Wendy?” asked Aqua.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE67ufrgHbu
“That name does sound familiar doesn’t it?” asked Shelly.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c0wNCDqqt
Pearl gasped and said, “That was the little girl in the blue dress! Remember, we tried to down her.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuyDYYpGuu
The mermaids giggled and I snickered. That was pretty funny, but Wendy sure didn’t think so.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRqIWcZYJL
“Why would we do this Peter? The girl is absolutely disturbing,” said Shelly.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSrvHBmKEW
The other mermaids nodded in agreement.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKxBliNebl
“Please girls, she could be in big trouble,” Peter said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAhvyTa0lu
“No way Peter. We will not risk our lives for some…little girl,” said Pearl.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrTJC6II0s
Peter frowned then smiled as an idea bloomed in his mind.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzlw1CPZHC
“I’ll give you some of the gems from Hook’s treasure. They would look beautiful on all of you,” said Peter.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CHyBaQC9j
The mermaids looked thoughtful. Pearl and Shelly looked to Aqua who was kind of the leader of the group.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0wNABycrm
Aqua sighed the nodded, “Very well Peter. We will listen for Wendy in return for some of Hook’s jewels.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiyFb3wGaz
“Thanks ladies,” said Peter and he took off his hat and bowed to them.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZz6BSOMGD
They all giggled then dove back into the water and swam towards Hook’s ship.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytoOzg8K4L
Aqua led them under the ship and she turned to her sisters. “Just listen for Wendy’s name,” she said to them.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIesWVTlGY
Shelly and Pearl nodded.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fjg9EWktN
They all slowly rose above the surface and moved their hair out of their faces.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwJszvql8f
“Well done Moira!” they heard Captain Hook cheer. The rest of the crew cheered and the mermaids listened close for the simple name…Wendy. They knew every name of the crew…but they had never heard Moira before.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD28Bi1xjJ
“Time for her to get to bed now,” said Hook.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPltESmzb9o
The crew booed and complained.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3iyfJ0ALI
“Don’t worry. There’s always tomorrow,” said a girl. Hook didn’t have a crew member that was a girl. Could she have been Wendy? But they called her Moira. Perhaps Peter was mistaken.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqmeRVS4sO
“Excellent. Our plan is working smoothly,” said Hook.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9CCPu2aBN
“I still don’t get the point Cap’n,” said one of the crew members.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8iFtcWVHP
The mermaids heard someone struggling for breath then a body flew down towards them. They all gasped and dove under the ship. They all looked and saw one of the crew members with blood oozing out of his neck sinking down into the depths of the ocean.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjjNpU6wyA
Aqua turned to her sisters.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTG9nQ57yq
“We should go back Aqua. I think we have enough information,” said Shelly fearfully.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93QTHdlP0S
“Very well,” said Aqua and she and her sister raced back to Mermaid Lagoon.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSEoYOReJY
They made it to the rock where Peter hovered cross-legged. They surfaced and Peter uncrossed his legs and landed on the rock.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8rhaZk7KT
“Hook has become more and more brutal Peter,” said Shelly.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU0juBXOdP
“He just killed one of his crew members,” said Pearl.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvps96K6Ggw
“We have some news…but we don’t know if it will help,” said Aqua.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivALykOu7A
“Was Wendy mentioned?” asked Peter.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRkVrO5FRl
Aqua shook her head.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPCt95N1gj
“She wasn’t?” asked Peter.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz654FOM5L
“No, but a girl named Moira was. She was the only female crew member we had ever seen,” said Shelly.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtHvnuwvxX
“Right, we don’t know if it’s Wendy. But this Moira girl seems to be well protected by Hook. Also, we feel he is up to something. Be careful Peter,” said Aqua.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cU6ZxLH2u
“Moira?” asked Peter. “Okay, thanks. The treasure is hidden in the cave, take whatever you want.” Peter flew off and tried to think. Then he remembered how Wendy introduced herself when he first met her.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe97B7h5327
“My name is Wendy, Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” she had said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirrp66UYpR
“Moira is Wendy,” Peter said to himself and he smiled. “That old codfish thinks he’s so smart. Don’t worry Wendy, a disguised name won’t fool me. Just hang in there a little longer.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMFxCMAEXW

Wendy woke up the next morning and got out of bed and got dressed. There was a knock on her door as she was brushing her hair.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbzqM0AuSF
“Come in,” Wendy said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGEhJ1hemi
“Hello Miss Moira,” said Mr. Smee.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfaZFg1K58
“Hello,” said Wendy.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJpzZnpB8S
“The Captain would like to see you for breakfast,” he said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc1gXV9otx
Wendy nodded. “Tell him that I’ll be there in a moment,” she said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmGgBtq5EI
“Yes ma’am,” said Mr. Smee and he left closing the door after him.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCUNBsxJzi
Wendy looked at herself in the mirror and smiled a bit. She hadn’t ever really thought of being a pirate, she kind of liked it. She had so much fun telling the story of Cinderella and the pirates actually paid attention to her.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0TGeyzFT1
Then Wendy’s smile faded and her eyes widened. Something popped into her head. Something she didn’t even realize until right this second. She was a pirate. Pirates were the enemies of Peter Pan. So…she was betraying Peter now. The contract was void. She was in danger.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2BI7RizLm
She quickly rushed over to the window and pushed it open. The sea was below her. She looked out and saw the island few miles away. She wished she had pixie dust handy. She quickly rushed over to the bed and ripped the sheets off and the comforter. She tied the end of the comforter to the bedpost and tied the sheets and other blankets together. She threw the sheet out the window and looked down.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1CAeszm7r
That’s when she saw a small dinghy along the side of the ship. She could swim to it and row to shore. Then she would find Peter and…
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ33WLFWkiG
And…what?
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYDneeYbgg
She couldn’t tell him about her and Hook’s contract. Peter would hate her forever. Wendy sank down and held her knees to her chest. She couldn’t bear to return home. She needed her Peter Pan stories.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1kSeFJC3q
Then she looked up and knew one thing for certain. She needed to get off of this ship. She got up and darted over to her door and turned the key in the lock to buy herself more time. Then she quickly rushed over to the window and tugged on the sheets a few times. It would hold.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5xEYHNCcK
She swung one leg out the window then the other and gripped the sheets. She actually enjoyed wearing pants instead of a dress. She was able to be more flexible. She slid down the sheets and then made it to the end of her make-shift rope. She would have to swim to the dinghy.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxyjUIyWt1
Suddenly she heard Hook above her.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRHcPS9YQG
“What are you waiting for? Get her!” yelled Hook.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1U60cZ1qz
Wendy gasped and released her rope. She splashed into the water and resurfaced, gasping for air. She made it to the dinghy but she saw pirates slowly making their way down her rope.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW6mUBd4dE
Wendy climbed into the small boat and took out her sword and cut the rope that was tied from the small boat to the ship.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz7kaTU01v
“Get her!” yelled Hook.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmAGjLAJk6
Wendy looked up and saw pirates starting to get the dinghy’s on the ship ready for lowering into the water. Wendy quickly pushed herself away from the ship and quickly began to row. The pirates splashed into the water and tried to swim for her, but luckily, she was faster than them.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyAMmmTOQk
Then she heard something that was like music to her ears.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8szBLdL6uk
Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr9006PIca
She peered behind the ship and saw the crocodile’s eyes looking at Hook with hunger.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FURDmKd4z
“SMEE!” cried Hook and Wendy giggled as the pirates scrambled to get back in the ship.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cpReAms7v
“Never change old codfish,” Wendy said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1dQ4gfiRe
She rowed as fast as she could to the island. When she finally made it, her arms were burning and her heart as racing. She got out of the boat and splashed into the water. She walked up to the shore and collapsed on the sand. She just stared at the burning sun and tried to catch her breath.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtRkaglAE6
Then, her eyes closed, and she drifted off to sleep.

Tinkerbell looked at Peter with a pout on her face.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwif6WqRKC
“Oh come on Tink, we haven’t played trick on old Hook in a long time,” he said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNGGWvMaud
“That old codfish doesn’t deserve our presence,” she jingled.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8idmcMG6CD
“Come on Tink, please? You never know what we might find,” said Peter.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYepTwRKctZ
Tinkerbell felt suspicious of Peter. He was keeping something from her. He’s been disappearing a lot and she didn’t know where or why.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHho6SAf1x
“Yeah come on Tink!” yelled the Lost Boys.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnyuxuVibR
Tinkerbell sighed but jingled, “Fine.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjCP86SEtf
The Lost Boys cheered and Peter smiled and nodded.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsENvF2xzTw
“All right men, line up!” commanded Peter. The Lost Boys all scrambled then lined up and saluted Peter. “Now, we go, attack Hook, and steal his treasure. Got it?”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7ErxxYOwL
“But, uh, what if we get stabbed?” asked Cubby.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLHk61MNc1
Peter leaned in close with a grin on his face. “Then you will die a very painfully slow death.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhJ3siPfA7
“So, don’t get stabbed!” yelled Slightly.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlNW9ezFm6
The boys all cheered.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnvT91eaRq
“Tink,” Peter looked to Tink.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea3jlBe9Jk
Tinkerbell fluttered over to the boys and doused them all in Pixie Dust. Then she flew back over to Peter and sat on his shoulder.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEXHE7NtP1
“All right everyone. Fall out!” commanded Peter and he took off out of the hideout and the boys all followed him. He was finally going to rescue Wendy.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1BtFhuSqo

1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY135vs7yb
The boys flew over to Hook’s ship and they hid behind the sail.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRoGT6VQC0
“Okay, on my signal,” said Peter.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbIJjBpyw4
The boys nodded and held their hands over their mouths to keep from giggling.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yz1pjkPW3
The crew was either sleeping, or playing games on board. Hook was nowhere to be seen.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUV7Aevgv9
Peter skillfully flew down and over to the window that led into Hook’s chambers. He saw Hook sitting at his chair and smoking a cigar. Mr. Smee was standing beside him anxiously.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg40WAFy2sy
“Mr. Smee…where is the crew?” asked Hook.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HPylosk7S
“Uh…on board Cap’n,” said Smee.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUsXmi3z5p
Hook smashed his cigar into the chair and got up. He flipped the chair and grabbed Mr. Smee’s shirt with his hook. “Why are they on board when they should be getting to the land to look for that detestable girl?! We need her!”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf6VI1gLCa
“M-Moira Cap’n?” asked Smee.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V2rI4SmAD
“Yes Moira! Of course Moira! Who else?” demanded Hook and he tossed Smee aside.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIRxBQlqmJ
Peter raised an eyebrow and continued to listen. Was Wendy not on the ship anymore?
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsXizvYScC
“The girl signed a contract with me. She is bound to me. She will be the one who will serve me like the rest of the crew! I’ll have her as my own personal slave if I have to! Nobody breaks a contract with Captain James Hook. Especially not a little girl named Wendy,” snapped Hook.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI81LdH2tID
Peter had heard enough. He would teach that old codfish. He shoved open the window and flew into Hook’s room.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFZXoCudLK
“Pan!” exclaimed Hook.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1NkG7ygt7
“Hey Captain! Where’s your treasure at?” asked Peter and he laughed and pulled Hook’s suspenders and they snapped back into place and he yelped in pain.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqruvxS3d6R
“Smee! Alert the crew!” yelled Hook.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ8tmAwviE
“Not to worry Captain, I’ll do it!” laughed Peter. He flew out of the window and onto the deck. Hook and Smee burst through the door and Peter flew past the crew.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuNktg9UKP
They all shot up and drew their swords.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC3V8RBQMe
“All right boys! Let ‘em have it!” yelled Peter.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSyNfCkLxZ
The Lost Boys all gave war cries and flew down and shot their slingshots and arrows. The crew aimed shotguns and swung their swords at the boys.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e0y6vkNNk
Peter laughed and watched from the crow’s nest. Tinkerbell crossed her arms and stood on Peter’s shoulder.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0btESgYTp
“Peter, something isn’t right. I can feel it,” said Tinkerbell.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhTGf8X0CT
“Come on Tink, loosen up,” said Peter.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnO9myCIew
“Pan! Get down here. I have something to discuss with you,” yelled Hook.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AqLOdRBO2
Peter knew exactly what he was going to say. But he flew down near Hook anyway. Tinkerbell followed close behind.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhP88hn8Np
“Now Pan, I need you to fetch someone for me,” said Hook.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqewrH5O0y4
“Oh? And what makes you think I’ll do anything for a codfish?” asked Peter with a smirk.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BRNKDszhf
“If you don’t help us, then your precious fairy here will die,” said Hook and suddenly Tinkerbell was snatched from Peter and given to Hook.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYNGxvF9MA
“Let go of me! Peter help me!” cried little Tinkerbell.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF1lZSHN4k
“Let her go Hook,” said Peter and he took his dagger out.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcBZGmBAU0
“Of course I’ll let her go. But first, you must bring me Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” said Hook with a sneer.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJtXvjbyJi
Tinkerbell stared at Hook in shock then she looked at Peter. He felt his eyes grow wide. He decided to play dumb. “Wendy isn’t here. What would you want with her?”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcm1Ao6fqC
“I brought her here and she signed a contract,” said Hook and Smee rushed over to Peter and held up a piece of parchment. Peter read it and stared at Wendy’s signature. “No one breaks any contracts I give out. So, bring your precious Wendy to me, or, I shall kill Tinkerbell.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUvtXntiWQ
“You go too far Hook,” Peter said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdzWHMg8IQ
“This isn’t a game boy. The rules are very clear. Now, what is your decision?” asked Hook.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAqldfoE8N
Tinkerbell looked at Peter with sadness and he looked around. The Lost Boys all stared at him as did the crew. The fighting stopped and everyone waited for Peter’s answer.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKLpqyFXgr
“Tick-tock boy,” sneered Hook and he squeezed his hand and Tinkerbell shrieked in pain.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ejFVg0bDa
“Stop! I-I’ll do it. I’ll bring Wendy to you,” Peter said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbHWJqJPLI
“Good boy. Miss Bell will be safe with me until you return,” said Hook.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1WplW5i66
“I’ll be back Tink. I promise. Do you hear me?” asked Peter.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpGOQMhxHs
Tinkerbell nodded.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr0MlYfut0
“Let’s go boys,” Peter said and they all flew back to the island.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6DcQG0g0G
“What do we do Peter?” asked Slightly.

The tide washed over Wendy and she gasped and spluttered and coughed up water. She stood and wrung her shirt out and her hair. She had to figure out what to do now. She couldn’t just sit on the beach all day. She turned and walked into the forest.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIGtgtFUZF
She walked for miles and she was exhausted and hungry and thirsty.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Sqn3qAKu
Suddenly she saw some light ahead. She walked toward it and found herself on the beach again.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmox3fNXPuV
She gave a frustrated yell and sat in the sand. She yelped from pain and reached under her and picked up a spring.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj2hXRZlb9
That’s when she realized that the sand was hiding small objects that were only found in her world…not Neverland.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClStzuEdjt
Suddenly she heard a jingling sound…a sound that only a fairy would make.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXNsRsaUA2
“Tinkerbell?” asked Wendy and she spun around and a fairy almost ran right into her. But it stopped and seemed to scream then it flew out of control and into the ocean.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUeZJIM2Pu
Wendy jumped up and rescued the small fairy. She coughed and spluttered. She couldn’t fly because of her wings.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8dlZvyAqS
“I’m not going to hurt you. I promise. Can you help me?” asked Wendy to the small fairy.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ6N65hf6V
She got a better view of the fairy. She had long black hair tied back into a ponytail held with a purple band. She wore purple and dark pink leaves.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEc3AB5pcX
“Do you know Tinkerbell?” asked Wendy.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRbmtmjUvH
The fairy stopped and stared at Wendy. It jingled questioningly.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT4qCbah6P
“I’m sorry, I don’t understand you,” said Wendy.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkBDapmUBB
The small fairy climbed off of Wendy’s hand and landed on the soft sand. She beckoned Wendy to follow her. The small fairy found little white puffs and took two of them and put them on her feet and gestured to them.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqE4qIznSv
“Yes, yes, Tinkerbell. You know her?” asked Wendy.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSITnbsqNO
The fairy nodded. She started to do gestures of how Tinkerbell left a long time ago.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEMQ3GKRIP
“So you don’t know where she is?” asked Wendy sadly.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWnMlNvI8t
The fairy shook her head. Then she pointed to the spring in Wendy’s hand.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj78wPsW7Lc
“What? The spring?” Wendy asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgbeRHRPDO
The fairy jingled and nodded.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeLvm9qffd
“You can have it,” said Wendy. She handed the fairy the small spring. The fairies wings dried rather quickly and she flew off with the spring faster than she had ever seen a fairy fly.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L5oPwpWfd
Wendy was alone again and she sighed and walked back towards the forest. She needed to stay hidden. The pirates could be looking for her.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoFqJNJcaF
“What am I going to do?” Wendy asked herself.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPelyCDGO6t
Suddenly the little fairy flew up over to her.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLTnrd3gMg
“Oh, it’s you again. Have you found Tinkerbell?” Wendy asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTZsjWMxrQ
The fairy shook her head. She jingled and made large hand motions.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm82WfYkLU
“I’m sorry. I can’t understand you,” said Wendy.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWOkKwsWnK
The fairy tugged at her hair and gestured for her to follow.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6LEAKaI7J
“Alright,” said Wendy and she followed the fairy. They rushed through the forest. Wendy tried to keep up with the fairy.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh0SOlbBDN
Suddenly she stopped in a field. Wendy stopped and tried to catch her breath.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLQRL7WR2h
The little fairy flew over to a flower and spun her hand. The flower’s pollen rose into the air and she formed words from it.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eqbNzIhN5
She told Wendy her name: Vidia.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmju2K1b9Uy
“It’s nice to meet you Vidia, I’m Wendy,” said Wendy.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgRdu3fljd
Vidia jingled.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4Tg3MdEBY
Then she formed more words: Tinkerbell is a good friend of mine.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAk7YWL8YB
“But you don’t know where she is?” Wendy asked.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ889OJF8tp
Vidia wrote: no, but she usually was with Peter Pan.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf5yMODmAp
“Well I know that,” Wendy said.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqXoQiRbbe
Vidia looked at her questioningly.
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsQaj3YDTn
“I’m trying to find Tinkerbell so I can ask her for advice. I’m a bit lost,” Wendy said. “Well not…lost really. I know where I am and how I got here but I need advice on what to do next.”
1244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsCZI6P7c6
Vidia wrote: Peter Pan?
